I do play on Green, and just got my epic a couple weeks ago ... but I got my staff awhile back (when Castle was still pretty dominant in Hate, though not as much as you say they are now; Diddly was getting more kills than they were I think).

But my point remains: none of it is classic. In classic, no one had "Hate trackers", because no one ... well first of all, 99.9% of the players didn't even have an extra 45+ level character to leave up in Hate, let alone one with track ... but even if they did, they didn't know about anywhere in the zone that they could leave said character.

For all we know, there was no "safe spot by the pillar" in Hate on live, and it's just a fluke of Nilbog's (inherently imperfect) re-creation here. But whether there was or not, eliminating it here would make Hate so much more classic. Instead of tracking Hate (as no one in '99 ever did) we would all have to actually send groups/raids of people to Hate just to find out if Magi or other epic mobs are up. Diddly and his ilk would be eliminated, and motivated guilds like Castle would still get Magi: classic as fuck.

Isn't the point of this place was to bring back the '99 experience?
